A VISIT 10 MOUNT VERNON

We arrived al The wharves Of
Washington.City about 9:45, A. NJ,
AMI immediately proceeded on board
the steamboat w. W. Corcoran.
The boat is large side wheel stoam
er, double-decked, and capable OF
carrying many hundred passengers.
The after part Of the upper deck is
open,effording opportunity for tour
lists 10 view the scenery along both
sides of the river. On the lower
dock il q first class restaurant, q
parlor containing piano, handsome
furniture and many comforts which
greatly add to the pleasure of the
trip.
At 10 o'clock, with about three
hundred passengers aboard we
started down the Potomac Our
ride was enjoyable nnd although the
tourists wore nearly all strangers to
ench other, yet, having common
dostination, partially took away the
restraints which We naturally have
toward staugers. AS the city slow
ly faded from view ia brought into
still greater prominence Washington
Monument and the Dome OF tho
Capitol. The morning sun shining
upou tbene two noblo specimens Of
modern architecture kept them in
view for many miles.
We soon arrived at the old Virgin
ia City OF Alexandria where We
made brief stop. Here the church
where Washington worshipped aud
the building where Col. Ellsworth
was shot were pointed out to US.
The next stopping place was Fort
Washington on the Mary yland side.
This is o large stone fortifcation
erected carly in the century. 1t was
used during the Rebellion as one OF
the deienses Of Washington City.
At present time ts entire forces and
armament consist Of one man, one
CONAN, and one g'n.
Passing bend in the river we
we're directed toward O hill on the
Virginia side and given our first
view Of Mt. Vernon, the homo OF
Washington. As we approached
the little wharf, the steamboat bell
was kept tolling until we landed.
This wharf is upon the same spot
where in Washinton's time, the pro-
ducts Of tho Mt. Vernon estate were
shipped to foreign countries.
We proceeded up a shaded dell
and soon came to the tomb. 1t is
built of brick, with an arched roof.
Its entrance is guarded by grated
doors; there 10 O vostibule of about
ten feet by fifteen and small iron
door which opens into the vault prop
or.
We stood with uncovered heads,
and through the grated door we saw
the two marble sarcophagi which
contain the remains Of Washington
and his wife.
When the remains were placed in
this vault from the old tomb, the
door was locked aud the keys are
supposed TO have been thrown into
the Potamac. Above the present
tomb are cut tho words; within

all trades In fact, and when not en-
gagged in tending stock, filed in his
time plowing, narrowing, etc. There
were no FREQ schools then, and the AZ.
ricultural bauk account not being
plethoric, his early education was
very much neglected. In fact IL was
bounded and encompassed by n few
months in tho little log hut ut the
cross roads. Young Hans left home

Of 1873. In 1876 he bought ont David
Ham OF the firm Of Reed & Ham and
then gobbled up the interests Of his
partner, and quit business in the fall

worked until August 10, 1876, when
he bought out n green grocer's shan

ey and was ii 200 in debt. He car
ried on the business until the spring
OF 1888, when he took in g. l.. Sewers

LOSS AND GAIN.

Do not count, when day Is DER,
Daily loss from.li'e's rich store;
But the gains, however small,
Count them daily, one"and nll.
Every sweet and gracious. word,
Every pleasant truth you've heard
Every tender glance and tone,
Every kindly deed you've known;
Every duty nobely done.
Every rightful victory won
Treasure all and connt them DER
Asa meiser counts his store.
But If bitter word or thought
Have n bitter harvest brou ght
IL some foeinun has nssailed you,
Or the friend most. trusted failed you
Ifunkindness and uutruth
Havesto you brought saddest ruth,
Blot the score without dolay-
Keep 10 record OF the day.
Keep no record OF the care,
Loss and cross we all must bear
On the page of memory write
Only what is fair and bright.
Lot all evil things go by;
Still, with brave endeavor, try
Simply joys to multiply.
Thus you'll learn how large n sum
Will with faithful reconing come.
Long Us after cloud and rain
Blessed Sunshine comes again,
Long us after winters gloom
Summer roses bud and bloom,
Long rs we have with us here
One sad heart that we can cheer,
Long as love gilds sorrows cross,
Life's rich gain o'rpnys the loss.
